Newt Gingrich Smacks Around Piers Morgan On Gun Control

Twelve minutes long but worth watching in full, partly because Gingrich is in fine form and partly because it’s a nice demonstration of how futile and bad-faith the “debate” over guns is. Morgan’s point is straightforward: If gun-rights fans think it’s okay to ban machine guns because rapid-fire weapons are too dangerous for the public to own, why not ban assault rifles? Granted, automatics fire much more rapidly than semiautomatics, but you can still get off an awful lot of shots quickly with an AR-15 if you’re pulling the trigger fast enough. Gingrich comes at that logic from the other direction: If semiautomatic rifles are banworthy because you can fire rapidly in volume with them, why aren’t semiautomatic pistols also banworthy?

The bottom line is we Americans have the right to make choices to have ot to not want to own a gun. It is not the right for a brit like Piers Morgan to even try and direct or state if we Americans can or should own a gun. The POMPOUS BIG MOUTH REDCOAT is not a citizen of the USA and he needs to go back to the island of rats known as the UK before he regrets he has stayed on American soil too long. I also notice he Piers has hidden his email address, I wonder why!
